Trump suggests renaming New Mexico state ‘New America’
The US president's proposal was immediately dismissed by New Mexico's governor, who said the name 'isn't up for debate'.
US President Donald Trump has proposed renaming the state of New Mexico as "New America", according to his social media post. The idea was quickly dismissed by the state's governor, Michelle Lujan Grisham, who stated that the name "isn't up for debate – it's been ours since before the US existed." The proposal comes amid a trade war with Canada and follows Trump's recent renaming of Lake Ontario to "Lake America." Some media reports suggest the idea originated as an internet hoax.
